Until I was 25 – I lived in Malaysia at that time and was lucky to get a good deal on my first DSLR camera.

It took me another year and a trip to South America to realize that photography suits me better than a suit. All this in mind I decided to chuck my plans for a business masters overboard and traded that grey office desk in for a camera.

These days I’m living in Hamburg, Germany doing what I would’ve been doing a lot earlier if I got this camera when I was 7. I take photos and make films. And I love it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First because I'm bored out of my head when it comes to travelling by a travel guide! ;)

The purest experience you can get of a country or place is through its people, cause a lonely planet guide can only get you so far. The best memories I have gained from all my trips were with people who opened their homes for me and showed me what living life as a local is like. None of the trips would have been the same without them.

I haven't been very active on CS the past years (as you can see) but am hooked again now with new travel plans ahead.
